Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Socks is a wonderful dog when he is in a very calm environment and not exposed to loud sounds, new people, quick movements, or any other stressful situations. He knows many commands, he is very active and loves to run, hike, play, and his favorite game is tug a war.

He does not do well with children. He does bite them. He does break the skin. He does not do well with most new people either. He jumps at their face, bites, and breaks the skin.

We have worked with the vet and he was at one time taking Prozac but that did not help, Ativan and transform did not help either. We have tried the thunder vest, calming room spray for dogs, etc. We are not experienced well enough to handle this type of behavior.
